My son watched these over and over till he could recite the narrated parts. There are, in fact, very good real train DVDs, but as the title suggests, this is a DVD for "Toy" trains - Lionel trains and operating accessories. Great value for the money. My oldest son was a train fanatic. The I Love Toy Trains series is a very wholesome and well done series of film clips of mostly model and some real trains.
before-hand, as they had it at the library ,so that I knew that My grandson [and his father] would enjoy it. I was able to watch this d.v.d.
He loves to pick out the different trains he knows like Amtrak and Santa Fe. My 3 year old absolutely loves it. He gets so excited just like when we get stopped in the car waiting for a freight train. Of course, we are partial to this series as we live near the Hesston Steam Museum and there are snippets from the steam show in these DVDs. Yes, the narration can get a bit corny at times and the music is repetitive, but it is designed for KIDS.
It's mostly toy train layout with the trains running on the displays. There are several catchy songs that you will find yourself humming all day long if you buy this DVD. My 3-year-old son is obsessed with this DVD. There are also some shots of real trains mixed in. If you have a kid who loves trains, like my son, this is a great DVD to add to your collection. He will watch the entire thing in one sitting (and it's an 1.5 hrs). My husband also enjoys it too.
They can even recognize and name the equipment used on the tracks at our railroad maintenance stop. They have picked up the railroad language and sing the songs. My grandsons love this video. They are 5 and 3 years old and play it over and over.
